2442 So, How Did She Die Back Then?

“Based on Ji Ziyin’s personality, there’s a high chance that she only wants to get rid of you as a burden as soon as possible. She won’t let you drag her down.” The girl’s tone was soothing and a little nonchalant.

“You’re talking nonsense.” Gu Hengbo emphasized every word as if he was trying his best to prove something.

Qiao Nian changed her posture and sat down. She still looked sloppy, but her eyes did not leave him. “You know very well if I’m spouting nonsense.”

Gu Hengbo’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered.

Qiao Nian saw that his hand was subconsciously grabbing the blanket. She raised her eyes. “There are only two paths in front of you now. First, continue dreaming, and don’t say a word. I’ll blame it on you if the First Research Institute suffers losses because of this. You can’t afford it. If you can’t pay it back, someone else has to. Then, I can only go to your family…

“Second, cooperate with me. If you say what needs to be said, this matter will have nothing to do with you. The Gu family will not be implicated! As for you… it depends on how my teacher wants to deal with it.”

Gu Hengbo was extremely angry. Hatred filled his eyes. He gritted his teeth and whispered, “Are you threatening me?!”

Qiao Nian did not even bat an eyelid. She looked at him frankly. “I’m just stating an outcome.”

Gu Hengbo stared at her fiercely. His chest rose and fell, but his mind raced. He had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

He had already made his choice, but looking at the girl sitting calmly in front of him, unwillingness gnawed at his heart like locusts.

Every word was extremely difficult to come out of his mouth. “I once gave her the email address of an elder of a reclusive family. She should have contacted that person.

“That person has always been at odds with Martin. Martin agrees with Feng Yu’s concept and doesn’t want the First Research Institute to become a place where the major factions manufacture weapons…

“But that person’s thoughts are the opposite of Martin’s! He has always hoped that the First Research Institute could create new lethal weapons for the reclusive families.”

Qiao Nian could guess this without him saying anything. Staring at Gu Hengbo, she asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Ji Ziyin wants to study weapons this time? She doesn’t seem to have the ability, so where did she get the method to complete the mission given to her by the reclusive family?”

Gu Hengbo looked at her in surprise, as if he did not understand why Qiao Nian was asking this. “Didn’t you already know that she had a notebook?

“Ji Qing was known as a once-in-a-century genius in the research institute. She not only had shocking achievements in biology and physics, but she was also a master weaponsmith.”

Gu Hengbo lowered his eyes to hide his complicated emotion before disdainfully continuing, “Right now, the rumor that Xie Tingyun is the number one person in weapon manufacturing is only because the Ji family erased the records related to Ji Qing. Many people in the younger generation don’t know the inside story and think that Xie Tingyun’s achievements in weapon manufacturing have already reached the peak! Actually, that’s not the case… The only person who has really reached the peak in this aspect is Ji Qing.”

He was not the only one who thought this, Xie Tingyun also acknowledged that Ji Qing was more skilled than her.

She never said she was the number one weapon manufacturer because, in her heart, she had never been number one.

Qiao Nian stopped beating around the bush and directly asked what she came for today. “So, how did she die back then?”
